Breacher Siege Space Marine
Breacher Siege Space Marines were a type of specialist Space Marine infantry squad used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.
These troops were specially trained and equipped for hazardous assault operations such as boarding enemy vessels or launching the first wave of attack on fortifications. They were commonly equipped with heavy Boarding Shields and specialized assault weapons such as Graviton Guns, Lascutters, Volkite Chargers, Flamers, and Melta guns.[1]
They could wear special issue MKIII "void hardened' armour, allowing them to fight in low-oxygen environments such as boarding a damaged spaceship in deep space.[4b]
